Error Message!

microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general

Using IE7 and XP. Lately, when surfing and clicking on a variety of
websites (some new, most are farmiliar) I have been getting a frequent
pop-up error message that reads "Internet Explorer Cannot Open Internet sitewww.xxx.xxx - Operation Aborted." Then when I click OK it takes me to the
blue IE page...Internet Explorer Cannot Display this page, etc. Often when
I refresh, the page I want then appears!

Can someone please explain why this is happening and provide a fix. All
help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Fran

Problems with Internet Explorer can also be caused by the presence of
viruses or other malicious software.

After the software is updated, it is suggested scanning the system in Safe
Mode.
How do you boot to Safe Mode?
By pressing/tabbing F8 (or F5 on some keyboards) during re-boot.
Alternatively:
click onto Start==>Run, type "msconfig" (without quotation marks), click
OK. Then click onto BOOT.INI tab and 'check' /SAFEBOOT then OK and click
Restart. To go back to Normal Mode, you must access the System
Configuration utility again and click the General tab then click/check the
radio button 'Normal Startup'- load all device drivers and services'.
